I was a huge fan of Fable 1, so much in fact that I got re-hooked on it this summer.

I haven't touched my 360 since football season began, pretty much because I had it last year with EA Sports' "attempt" at a football game. But I'll be sure to dust the thing off when my copy of Fable II arrives!

Re: I Called Out Sick To Work For Fable 2

It looks pretty good, sadly having a six month old in the house doesn't lend me a lot of time to play RPG's.

Anyone try Dead Space yet?

Dead space is like if Resident Evil and Bioshock got it on and had a kid. F-n sweet!!

Hey JG, have you pulled off any of the co-op spells?

I can't play games AND watch football all weekend, the wife wouldn't go for that.

Fable II will have to be played at work, no other option.

I'm guessing he meant RE4.

Man that stinks if its what I think it is. I was never opposed to RE4's playing style (new camera angle) what I hated was the less then scary enemies, especially after Remake managed to scare the crap out of me. The game felt like fighting a bunch of albino omish people with enough ammo (on Leons part) to supply Iraq for a year. With that said from what I hear Dead Space is pretty damn scary especially the parts where monsters act like they're dead only to come out of nowhere and attack you. Still can't hurt to rent it, thats like low risk high reward.

Re: I Called Out Sick To Work For Fable 2

I liked RE4 and I thought it had a pretty spooky atmosphere to it. But then again I'll admit I never played any of the previous three in the series.

What's the scariest game you've played dirtbag?

Wow, thats quite a menu. I'd say pretty much the entire Silent Hill series scared the living daylights out of me. Silent Hill 1 especially when I was younger and I barely got through the first part of the game (I've recently been catching up on it through the use of emulators and while it's not as scary as I remember it's still pretty frightening), while with Silent Hill 2 I had a lot of trouble completing mainly because I was to scared at times to play it alone at times. I'm still to scared to finish Silent Hill 4 even though I'm under the impression that I'm almost done. Seriously there would be times where the hairs would stand up on my back and I would be to scared to look, mainly because theres a lot of parts with enemies that you can only knock out makes the game become even scarier.

However if you ever get a chance try the Resident Evil 1 Remake, thats probably by far the best game in it's respective series. Best comination of graphics, story, voice acting, and most of all scares. I've actually been thinking of buying it as it cost $20 for the game and $40 for a Gamecube at Gamestop. Resident Evil 3 is also pretty scary due to a creature called Nemesis that follows you around but it has a pretty bare bones story. Resident Evil 2 had one of the better stories but got beat out when Remake was made.

So with all that I'd have to say Silent Hill 4 was the scariest game I've ever played, given the fact that I was 21 when I first played it and it still continues to be freak me out.

I haven't tried any of the Silent Hill games, I'll give 4 a look.

Did you ever play [URL="http://www.gamespot.com/gamecube/adventure/eternaldarknesssr/review.html?om_act=convert&om_clk=gssummary&tag=summary;read-review"]Eternal Darkness[/URL] for the GameCube? Great game. I'm surprised they haven't put out a sequel.

I loved that game! I was hoping for a part two as well.

Do you remeber Shamu for Dreamcast? They never finished that story and it was a decent game.

Ever looking for a game to kill a lot of time try Advance Wars, it is on DS now but I started on Gameboy Advance.

I actually never heard of it let alone play it. However I did just watch this video and it made me jump so if I ever buy a Gamecube again (or get a computer strong enough to emulate it) then it might be worth it to check it out. The funny thing is when I was watching the video my first impression was what the hell is with the cartoonish like colors. I now regret those words.

Also another game I would like to recomend to PS3 owners who like scary stuff would be Heavy Rain. It comes out next year and it seems like a combination of a horror story and Shenmue. (FYI the maniquins are dead bodies). Though now that I think about it it seems more thriller then horror.

I've also been meaning to check out Fatal Frame sometime in the future. I heard that it was even [COLOR=black]scarier[/COLOR] then [COLOR=black]Silent[/COLOR] [COLOR=black]Hill[/COLOR]. FEAR is also suppose to be scary and it has its moments from the little I've played but I'm under the impression that theres way to many "normal" enemies to be scary. Still the beginning did a good job of putting the fear of God in me.
